Part two of the Steelers Browns rivalry definitely has unfinished business for both squads. Looking back at week one, it was almost like the first Pacquiao vs. Marquez fight. The Steelers floored a Browns a few times early but the Browns wouldn't go away, chipping away and never giving into defeat. At the end both fighters looked confused at the tie and unable to feel either like they won or lost, but knew that a rematch would be highly anticipated.

The teams are going different directions now. The Steelers had some issues exposed in the first week loss, but they are righting the ship and won their last two before a bye. James Connor has established himself as a back who gets better with more carries. Big Ben is a notorious slow starter and always plays better at home.

On the other side the Browns might frustrate the everliving hell out of the fan base, but they have become a tough out for their opponents. The days of the Browns basically being an extra bye week are gone. Going into overtime four times out of seven games is a fairly astonishing feat, despite the recent let downs. I also wonder if they are feeling the effects of essentially playing an extra game of football when you combine the overtimes.

The weather is supposed to suck. It's the Steelers game, so it would feel wierd if the weather was any different. Vegas opened with the Steelers favored by 7 1/2, but it's up to 8 1/2 today. If there's one thing we can say about these Browns, they have been a quality dog to put your money on so far.

Prediction: Steelers win by a field goal 26 - 23.

Go Browns!
 
Making a road trip to this game from Cleveland, anyone ever been to Pittsburgh or Heinz Field before? Should I expect to see other Browns fans tailgating and what not?
 
Bookies seem to have the game as a 35-17 Steeler win.
 
I’m going to be flying during the game. I have cbs all access. Can I watch the game on my phone while flying?

I believe Sunday Ticket is the only way to watch out of market games. Your best bet might be reddit.com/r/nflstreams
 
We're hungry. Players are fed up with the poor officiating. Myles sacks Pedoburger 3 times. Ward creates 2 TOs by himself. As a group, we finish with 6 sacks and 5 TOs........resulting in 6 points off turnovers. Baker finds his groove and tosses the pigskin for 312 yds. Chubb runs "hard" for a buck 19.

We win this one easily 20-17..........in overtime.
 
I’m interested in seeing how Harrison plays today. Not everyone agrees with me, but I thought the Steelers game was his worst of the season. Now in that same game he responded nicely in the second half, but his first half was Oniel Cousins-Esque

It’ll be interesting to watch how the Steelers approach their pressure this week and how Harrison holds up
 
LETSSS GOOOO BROWNNNS!!

Browns gone win!

TJ Watt has 6 sacks in 3 games against us.
 
Flags on the opening kickoff for The Browns.
